Alles Licht - Light and Space gestern und heute

In the organizer's words:

Light is more than just brightness - it creates atmosphere, changes spaces and shapes how we see the world. Light is the basis of life and symbolizes knowledge and truth, spirituality and hope. But light can also be the material of art.

"All Light. Light and Space yesterday and today" focuses on the Californian Light and Space Movement of the 1960s. In Light and Space, light is used as an artistic material in a completely new way. Artists in this movement developed a fundamentally new concept of light, space and perception.

The exhibition provides insights into the development of the artistic use of light from the visionary experiments of the 1960s to the present day. Historical positions and current works by contemporary artists are in dialog.

The architecture of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld is part of this dialog: With its clear design language, striking lighting and the interplay between inside and outside, it opens up a space in which light is not merely an optical phenomenon. Light is a material, a tool of perception and a critical medium at the same time.

Artists: Angela Bulloch, Mary Corse, Olafur Eliasson, Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, Craig Kauffman, Mischa Kuball, Nicole Miller, Tatsuo Miyajima, Helen Pashgian
